The Black Hood’s killing spree is driving everybody bonkers on Riverdale, leading to a violent (and very wet) throwdown between Archie and the Southside Serpents.
With the whole town on edge, wondering who the next victim will be, Archie’s gang responds by doing what they do best: Jughead hits the library to research serial killers, Archie takes his newly acquired gun out for target shooting and Veronica shows her support for Archie’s Red Circle by designing a line of cute T-shirts and handing them out at school. (It’s how she helps, guys.) Meanwhile, Betty gets a message from the Black Hood that contains a cryptogram of symbols to decipher, and a letter telling her that her speech at the jubilee is what “inspired” him. (Yikes… getting a serious John Hinckley/Jodie Foster vibe here.)
